70 Bands Showcasing Killer Female Talent – Part 3

Ten bands showcasing killer female talent – folk-tinged edition. From dulcet acoustica and calming melodies to more unsettling and uproarious types. An inspired selection from bands and musicians along the folk spectrum, or just simply borrowing ideas from the genre and running with them.

Julie Byrne’s new album is of a calming, meditative nature. The breezy single ‘Natural Blue’ is like the entwining of many orchestral strings, all attuned to Byrne’s devotional fingerpicking. Centring around Bryne’s voice and acoustic guitar, the album is at once lush and sparse and filled with delicate hymns.
